Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report for the period ending in May 1999 and the legislation appended thereto. It would be grateful if the Government would provide further information on the following points.

Noting under Article 3 of the Convention that Act No. 1876-90 on free collective bargaining allows the conclusion of collective labour agreements between employers’ and workers’ organizations, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would state whether effect has been given in practice to this possibility and, if so, to provide a list of the collective agreements concluded under the above Act, to send a copy of one of them and to state what activities in the field of national labour policy are covered by these agreements.

Noting under Article 7 that natural persons who are not bound by a dependent work relationship but offer their labour in conditions of dependency and need the same protection as the other workers are also covered by Act No. 1876-90, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on the categories of workers to which such persons belong in relation to those mentioned in points (a) to (d) of this provision of the Convention.
